Steve Clifford held an interview with Chris Kroeger of WFNZ radio in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago. I apologize for the tardiness, but I believe this interview shed some great light on Clifford’s thoughts towards the offseason as a whole and how the Charlotte Hornets will move forward this upcoming season.
On Nic Batum:
“I think that the things that he does are just things that you can’t coach. He does the Gretzky pass, he has a great feel for the game, he makes simple/quick plays and he makes the right play, and not only that is he has such a good feel for who he’s playing with, where they need to get the ball to play effectively and there’s just not that many guys that play like that and especially at his size, so you know he’s a terrific player, he plays at both ends of the floor and he was also really good late in games for us”.
